Where to even begin about Dr. Roberts...? To put it simply, he is amazing, and I seriously mean that. But let me tell you why. In my first visit with him, both he and his medical assistant/nurse were kind, attentive and I felt like were truly on my side. What I mean by that is Dr. Roberts listened and together we determined the best plan. I was having issues with my knee that would come and go, and recently had some type of unexplained uptick that stopped me from being able to hit the gym, hike, do yoga or even at times walk without pain that felt crippling. After laying out the options we determined surgery was the best one. Now let me tell you, I was TERRIFIED. At age 40 I had managed to make it with no surgeries and nearly everything medical, even simple blood draws make me want to run for the hills. Dr. Roberts and his nurse, Miranda could see this was a hard a scary decision for me, and literally at times she held my hand. I appreciated that he didn't take this option less seriously than I did. I also, appreciated greatly his honesty that there were other options to try that might get me back to most of my normal lifestyle for a while, but that at the end of the day if he didn't remove the cause of the issue on my bone, longer term this was not going to go away. I needed that. I needed to know I have options to get me back on my way without surgery for a while, which gave me the freedom to choose what I most wanted which was my life and mobility back long term and so with Dr. Roberts on my side, I said yes to surgery. On surgery day everything was on schedule and he made sure that I was taken care of and my loved one was involved in the conversations about options, care and the procedure. Let me be clear, on surgery day I was a MESS and he and his surgical team didn't skip a beat when it came to keeping me and my loved one informed and held in their expert care. Post surgery Dr. Roberts was and continues to be there for me. He seems to welcome open communication, updates and it has been incredibly comforting to be able to email him during the recovery. Even over the holiday weekend he emailed personally back, answering my questions, addressing my sometimes likely ridiculous fears and all with genuine concern and care. I don't really know what else someone could want in a Doctor, or surgeon. He is kind, attentive, skilled, knowledgeable and bottom line the kind of Doctor you trust to always have your best interest at heart, no matter what that is. He is never rushed and takes time to throughly address everything. Currently he practices at TOCA, should I ever need other care and he leaves, I would travel for him. That said, I do enjoy TOCA as an office. The staff is very easy going, friendly and helpful. There is never a shortage of help and communicating with them is not a challenge. Bottom line, Dr. Roberts is as I first said, amazing and I am thankful for that. read more
